Rates

REC's goal is to provide safe, adequate and reliable electric service to its members. Our rate structure is designed to reflect the co-op's delivery and power supply costs, including a minimum rate of return as required by our lenders.

Below are descriptions and pricing of our most common rate classes, all of which are effective with bills mailed on or after February 1, 2011. Alternative rate options are available for those who can reduce the majority of their power consumption when called to do so. For more information on these rates, see REC's Terms and Conditions or contact Ed Bevers at 405-756-3104.

DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND

The billing demand shall be the average number of kilowatts measured during the period of a minimum of fifteen (15) consecutive minutes in which the customer’s consumption of electric energy is greater than during any other fifteen (15) consecutive minutes during the month, determined by suitable measuring instruments installed and maintained by the Cooperative. If the Cooperative determines that an interval of up to and including one hour is better suited to yield a demand level measurement, it may modify the interval without notice to the customer.

In computing charges for service under this rate, no bill for any month shall be based on less than the highest demand established during the twelve months ending with the current month, which, in any event, will not be less than 25 kW.

POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENTThe customer agrees to maintain unity (100%) power factor as nearly as practical. The Cooperative reserves the right to measure such power factor at any time. Should such measurements indicate that the power factor in normal loading conditions is less than ninety percent (90%), the demand for billing purposes shall be the demand as indicated or recorded by the demand meter multiplied by 90% and divided by the present power factor.
